The Major League Screwups

Gelf's podcasters rain on the Phillies' parade.

Michael Myser and Merrill Freund

In Gelf Magazine's weekly podcast, The Hack and The Flack, journalist Michael Myserthe hackand PR guru Merrill Freundthe flackbreak down the news of the week. From their different perspectives, Michael and Merrill discuss sports, tech, and mediamuch like Gelf.

In this week's episode, Michael and Merrill ask if every World Series game should last three and a half innings, score the Obama infomercial, draw the line on tasteless PR pitches, and lament the continuing cutbacks in business journalism. That's all in this week’s Gelf Magazine podcast.
